First it was Myspace, then it was Facebook, and now, it is Twitter.  So what exactly is Twitter?  If you don’t already know, it doesn’t necessarily mean that you have lived under a bridge for the past few years, it just means that you need to hop on the Twitter bandwagon ASAP!  Twitter is an online social network that lets you share what you are doing at this moment.  Mostly we hear about things that celebrities have tweeted, but anyone anywhere can use Twitter.  All you do is post what you are doing at the moment in 140 characters or less.  For example, Kim Kardashian recently tweeted, “Up early for the airport! Had 2 hrs of sleep… Heading home then hopping straight on another flight to Monaco today! Lots of travel today.”

More recently though, business have begun to utilize Twitter to connect with their customers, and to reach out to  prospective customers, and offer information about their business to get their name out there.  Customers can tweet or message the business to offer their feedback or suggestions.

Since its debut in 2006, Twitter has caused no harm and has only been a lot of fun to millions of users.  It is all about networking, and keeping up to date with the people or businesses worth following.  If used properly it is just another way to get your name out there and network, so join the flock already and visit Twitter.com
